Send E-mail from Oracle (9.2.0.1) : SMTP transient error: 421 Service not a

Question

I have used Oracle 9i server (9.2.0.1 version) on Windows XP machine(with SP2).I want to send Email from PL/SQL procedure.
My Question is what sort of configuration needed to perform this activity?
I have installed IIS (Internet Information Service)
in my machine, then configure my SMTP mail server
with a valid email id and password given TCP port 465.
Later I came to know that to send Email from PL/SQL I have to install Oracle JServer Code. Follow three steps. the steps are
1. Execute the script as sys "$ORACLE_HOME\javavm\install\initjvm.sql"
2. Execute the loadjava classfile as
$ORACLE_HOME\plsql\jlib>loadjava -f -v -r -u sys/**** plsql.jar
3. Execute the script as sys "$ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\initplsj.sql"
I sucessfully executed the first step, but for the second step iam not able to locate the plsql.jar file in the specified path.
So Please tell me if there is any other method to perform this task
My code is as follows.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SEND_MAIL (
                              msg_to varchar2,
                              msg_subject varchar2,
                              msg_text varchar2
                              IS
                              c utl_smtp.connection;
                              rc integer;
                              msg_from varchar2(50) := '[email protected]';
                              mailhost VARCHAR2(30) := 'mail.google.com';
                         BEGIN
                              c := utl_smtp.open_connection(mailhost, 465);
                              utl_smtp.helo(c, mailhost);
                              utl_smtp.mail(c, msg_from);
                              utl_smtp.rcpt(c, msg_to);
                              dbms_output.put_line(' Start Sending data');
                              utl_smtp.data(c,'From: Oracle Database' || utl_tcp.crlf ||
                              'To: ' || msg_to || utl_tcp.crlf ||
                              'Subject: ' || msg_subject ||
                              utl_tcp.crlf || msg_text);
                              dbms_output.put_line(' Finish Sending data');
                              utl_smtp.quit(c);
          EXCEPTION
               WHEN UTL_SMTP.INVALID_OPERATION THEN
dbms_output.put_line(' Invalid Operation in Mail attempt using UTL_SMTP.');
               WHEN UTL_SMTP.TRANSIENT_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line(' Temporary e-mail issue - try again');
WHEN UTL_SMTP.PERMANENT_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line(' Permanent Error Encountered.');
END;

Please tell me how to solve this problem.
Thank You.

Answer 1

1) Why did you install an SMTP server locally and then tell your code to try to use the server mail.google.com?
2) The error you're getting is from mail.google.com indicating that Google isn't running an open SMTP server there. I would be very surprised if Google were running a publicly available SMTP server anywhere since that would be an invitation for spammers.
